Brook Sedore, a 6-5 junior opposite for No. 8 University of Hawai'i, has been named the Sports Imports/AVCA Men's Division I-II National Player of the Week. Faced with two consecutive home matches against then-No. 3 UCLA, Sedore played some of the best volleyball in his career leading the Rainbow Warriors to a pair of wins. In the first match he recorded a season-high 24 kills on .452 hitting with two digs and as many blocks in the four-set win. He maintained his high level of play in the rematch, this time smashing a match-high 22 kills and hit an even .400 with five digs. For the week, his 5.11 kills per set average were well above his 3.62 season average. Entering the weekend, Sedore had only one 20-plus kill match on the season as Hawai'I jumped three spots from No. 11 in the latest AVCA Coaches Poll. It was their first MPSF series sweep of UCLA since 2006.

This is the 18th time in program history a Hawaii student-athlete has garnered Sports Imports/Player of the Week honors, with the most recent coming from Sinisa Zarkovic on March 12, 2013.

Finally, Brooke gets recognized for his work against UCLA...Too many times the AVCA disrespects the performance of our players when they have breakout matches, since the games come after the bed times of most of the voting coaches.

MPSF was the real concern for the players. Congratulations. But the players involved will decide the national title. A few years ago, they had a man named Jonas Umlauf 6-9, he made it into the MPSF at #13 ranked in the nation. As they say, (5-6) only time will tell. Do you know who said this?

i wasn't able to follow a some of the recent threads. but this 'big-time' transfer sounds intriguing. An all-around outside hitter would be the most ideal, and the biggest need. failing that, i'd take a dominant middle too...

14.i think it will be a middle.
15. writers don't have any say on photos. Don't know how many isolated shots of him available in our archives. btw, writers don't write the headlines on their stories either. both of those are done by people on desk/editing duty.

#16 If it is a middle maybe it is Annie Mitchem. She has been in JUCO for 2 years but I believe she redshirted her first year. Makes sense that they need to review her transcripts to see if she will earn her AA and become eligible.

well, whoever chose the photo for Sedore ... it was just such an odd/funny choice, since he's making a weird face in it. unless that, of course, was the intention ... to reflect Sedore himself, who seems to have that off-beat, quirky personality. haha ...

Don't take my word for it, but I certainly did have conversations with the Bigbee Ohana about playing for Hawai'i. My guess is that Christy is contemplating a move herself; LOTS of pressure there at ISU (esp. since she's built such a storied program--to have had a bad 2013 season).

You can already see what Big is to Wahine fans and Dave's idea of Big might be totally different,you might find yourself saying, who ?

Usually news about someone BIG from somewhere Big transferring is already out there,right dorthymantooth ?

Some BIG programs already have their 2014 rosters up and there is nothing going on at Nebraska or Texas,Stanford is a possibility but seriously who is going trade a Stanford education for a UH diploma ?

Karissa Cook is working on her master's from UH and playing sand, I assume on partial scholarship. I'm know that she used her indoor eligibility and also I'm pretty sure she knew that Stanford was going to have a sand program in place this Spring. With all of that said, my point is that she chose to play sand and get her master's from UH.

The point is wrong. Karissa graduated from stanford. She HAS an undergraduate degree from Stanford. She did not "trade in" a Stanford degree for a Hawai'i one. SHE HAS ONE. She just chose to continue to further her education at Hawai'i.

MacKenzie Bigbee, if it's her as a transfer junior, will provide a right side player that would fit UH needs. She was the kill leader, six rotation player, and a have a bigger 6'1" presence on the court. The suspense......

Cindy, would you mind starting a new thread regarding this weekend's video coverage for the UCI matches? There is conflicting information, as UH Athletics' page indicates that both games will have video coverage, but OC Sports' page indicates the Sunday will have neither tv nor web coverage: "OCSports is not televising that match, so there will not be a stream available. The match on Friday (3/07/2014) will be televised and streamed." Thank you.

I guess it's only natural to play the guessing game but if you do a little research first you can eliminate certain players. For example someone brought up MacKenzie Bigbee at Iowa State here and on VT but Iowa State recently posted their 2014/15 roster and looks like Ms Bigbee will still be at Iowa State next year.

But my point is that I interpreted the post as she could of done her masters at stanford, but chose hawaii, so people do switch. So techically she didn't trade it, but she did chose hawaii over stanford

Not getting caught up, just trying to get people the correct facts about defining undergraduate/bachelors and courses offered at schools. They type before doing research and she just was caught up in the discussion.

quote: Webster's dictionary.....undergraduate, n. a student at a university or college who has not yet received the first, or bachelor's degree. Yes you get an associates degree, which is an undergraduate degree with two completed years of school, but it is not the same thing.

Cook is playing for one year on sand while finishing her master's in structural engineering I believe.
The reason she is at UH, after obtaining a B.A. in design from Satnford, is that Stanford is not offering sand scholarships yet.
UH offered her one for sand.

52. there were previous posts that suggested she was finishing her undergrad degree here vs. she was getting her master's. Yes you can obtain an AA undergraduate degree but that would be from a 2-year institution, not a four-year one such as Stanford.
